What is the Mentorship Program?
The ACLP Mentorship Program is free for ACLP members. As a structured six-month program, it is designed to support the career development and growth of both emerging & established child life specialists.
Individuals are paired together based on criteria outlined in the application. Pairings will work together during the six month duration through a series of monthly webinars where individuals earn 6.0 PDUs, one-on-one meetings, and messaging.
Timeline
The Mentorship Program will be opening the next round of applications later in 2025. Please check back in 2025 for more details and specific dates.
